WhatsApp’s latest beta reveals ‘wallpaper’ and ‘new Call’ features
WhatsApp beta version 2.20.200.6 can be downloaded from the Google Play Store. This is available only for WhatsApp public beta users. Those interested in experiencing unreleased WhatsApp can en-roll in its beta programme. In the latest update, WhatsApp has fixed the storage usage section.
As per WABetaInfo, the storage usage section would crash when users tried to open it. There’s another bug on WhatsApp that resets the recently used emojis. This has however not been fixed in this update.
WhatsApp has also rolled out a new sticker pack that is available to all users on Android. It’s called Usagyuuun and it’s available for WhatsApp users on iOS as well.
In beta update, it got revealed about a new feature WhatsApp is working on for wallpapers. It’s called “wallpaper dimming” which lets users change the opacity of the chat wallpaper. This feature is however in development, and not available to even public beta users on WhatsApp.

Catalogue Shortcut:
WhatsApp is working to add a quick shortcut in business chats, when the business has set a catalogue.This feature is under development but, when enabled, the shortcut will be added next to the new Call button.
New Call Button:
WhatsApp is actually experimenting a new Call button. Initially it will be available in business chats only (if they provide a catalogue), but we must not exclude the possibility that they will expand the feature for other chats too.This button combines the voice and video call shortcuts (the one you actually see in groups) and, when tapped, it allows to choose the call type.
This shortcut is under development and it will be available in a future build.
